Arizona
Protecting Arizona Taxpayers Coalition
Proposition 207, the deceptively titled "Private Property Rights Protection Act," is a confusing bait-and-switch proposition on this fall's ballot. It pretends to guard against eminent domain problems, but in reality it is an extremely expensive, confusing and bureaucratic measure that forces governments to pay speculators for alleged value losses or waive zoning laws and rules for them. Our taxes would be paid to special interests simply because those interests must comply with laws that protect our homes, our property and our communities.



California
Californians Against the Taxpayer Trap
California needs to reform eminent domain but Prop 90 is a radical plan that goes too far and would cost taxpayers billions of dollars each year.

Montana
Property Owners Against I-154
Imagine for a moment all the things you love about Montana - our clean water, scenic vistas, friendly farm-and-ranch communities, and world class hunting and fishing. Imagine all that sold off. Once it's gone, we can never get it back. I-154 MUST be defeated.

Washington
Citizens for Community Protection
One thing Washington voters can be sure of is that I-933 creates a "pay or waive" system that will force taxpayers to pay millions of dollars to stop irresponsible development or exempt certain land owners and corporations from the law. I-933 is a poorly written law that will place additional unfair burdens on Washington taxpayers for years to come.
